I just got offered a position at an afterschool program as an instructor. There will be 3 other instructors who will be covering the technical side of the program, that being boat building. Check out our program here: http://www.bayfrontcenter.org/project-sail/
However, I'm no teacher. I worked with kids ages 6-15 at a summer camp last year, and spent a good 10 hours a week directing and motivating service camp workers (aka kids who didn't want to be there). It was challenging, but I loved the laid back atmosphere of working with kids. They don't care what you wear, they'll laugh if you swear, but if you give them a shovel they'll hate that your there.
Anyone else have any experience in Alternative Classroom Education?
Good luck, I think you'll do great! Keep 'em guessing, it's harder to get bored that way.
